Chapter Eighty-Eight: Earth-shattering
Cai You's knowledge is not good, and his future is limited, so he is bent on crooked ways.
Seeing that he was already close to the official family, and his father was repeatedly named by the official family, and gradually took power in the official family, their Cai family was about to return to the imperial court, regain its former glory, and even go to the next level5, how could they fall short!
Moreover, not only did they fall short, the official family was temporarily replaced, but also expressed their disgust with his father Cai Jing, perhaps, their Cai family not only cannot return to the court, but may also face the anger of the official family!
Cai You's expression changed, and he suddenly gritted his teeth, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Sir, so far, please tell me, father, has you arrived in Beijing?" ”
It stands to reason that his father had arrived at least two days earlier!
The middle-aged man guessed that the Cai family might face a catastrophe, and he groaned for a while, and said, "The bachelor has indeed arrived, and he should know the news." ”
Cai You immediately said loudly: "I want to see my father!" ”
The middle-aged man looked at him and said, "Don't panic. Since the bachelor didn't show up, he has his thoughts, don't worry. ”
"I want to see my father!" Cai You's face was full of anger, his eyes were red and he stared at the middle-aged man, almost word by word.
The middle-aged man was slightly shocked, he saw a kind of 'hatred' in Cai You's eyes! He used to think that Cai You was good at drilling camps, but he was just a young man's progress, but he didn't expect that because of the possible loss of power, Cai You actually hated his father!
The middle-aged man looked at Cai You deeply, secretly calmed down, and said, "I have communicated with the bachelor several times, but I don't know where he is. ”
Cai You thought of the paper bag he gave to Zhao Xu before, and said with red eyes: "Did my father come back earlier?" Those things he gave you? ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Cai You's face was full of anger, and his heart was even more angry, his eyes flickered, he snorted angrily, turned around and strode away.
The middle-aged man looked at Cai You's back, frowned, and said softly: "It seems that this Cai Mansion is not a place to stay for a long time." ”
When the middle-aged man's words fell, Liang Tao, Cao Zheng and others were surging in their hearts, enthusiastic, and full of enthusiasm to do things.
The Empress Dowager is not in the court, the official family is upright, and it is not far from withdrawing the curtain and returning to power!
They have all been appointed as the 'Six Rites Envoys', and they will inevitably be new upstarts in the future, and the marquis is just around the corner!
The inside and outside of the household are very excited, compared to the previous twilight, it is simply the sun is shining, the sky is in full swing, everyone is in a hurry, and everything is in their hands.
Cao Zheng, the right waiter, entered Liang Tao's duty room with a stack of official documents, and when he saw him immersed in writing, he still said excitedly: "Shangshu, many people outside ask to see, don't you see you?" These people are basically from the Yamen of the Three Divisions, and with their help, we can save a lot of effort. ”
Liang Tao didn't raise his head, his pen didn't stop, and he said in a calm voice: "I can't be too high-profile, you go to see it, and everything that can be collected is put away." We don't just need people, but we also need officials. I'm writing some reform proposals for the Sansi Yamen to the officials, is there anything else going on outside? ”
Cao Zheng listened and hurriedly said, "Yes." The Criminal Department is like a great enemy, the three divisions of the yamen are surrounded by water and impassable, we want people and things, Huang Shangshu will not give them. Su Xianggong is still in the Privy Council, and the second Fan Xianggong is not in the political hall, no one is in charge, and we can't get the approval we want......"
Liang Tao paused, frowned, pondered again and again, looked up at him, and said: "Although it is said that the official family must use the inner treasury, but the major affairs of the country cannot rely only on the internal treasury of the official family. ”
Cao Zheng nodded and said, "This subordinate understands. It's just that even if Shangshu temporarily acts as the third envoy, without the approval of the political affairs hall, we can't open other treasury, and Huanqing Road is in a hurry, so we can't wait. ”
Liang Tao didn't have the panic before, and now his heart is like a tide, eager to make achievements to show Zhao Xu, how can he be so easy to retreat.
He looked at Cao Zheng and said solemnly: "They can't drag on for a few days, the official family killed Liu Shi'an with a cane today and expelled Lu Xianggong, so no one else is missing!" Prepare your things, and come with me to the Privy Council tomorrow. ”
Cao Zheng was stunned and said, "Didn't you go to the political affairs hall?" ”
Liang Tao continued to lean over and write, and said, "What's the use of the political affairs hall. Su Xianggong will not sit idly by and watch the matter of Huanqing Road, and at the moment, only Su Xianggong can make it happen. ”
Cao Zheng thought for a moment and said knowingly: "Okay, I'll go now." ”
Although Su Song is accustomed to mud, he should take responsibility, especially in matters involving the safety of Huanqing Road, and will not be as ambiguous as others.
The household department is busy, and the criminal department is full of murderous atmosphere.
In the imperial history, Cheng Ma Yan accompanied Huang Shan, and there were two waiters and four foreign men standing in front of them, all trembling and terrified.
Outside the door were more than twenty officers with knives, and the knives had been drawn.
The three envoys died in their prison of the Criminal Department, even if they committed suicide in fear of crime, it was a big deal!
Huang Shan's face was gloomy, feeling the coolness on his knees that had been left in the Zichen Hall for a long time, staring at the six people in front of him, and said murderously: "You know the severity of the matter!" Liu Shi'an, the doctor of the left advice, was killed by His Majesty on the spot outside the Zichen Palace, and he did not belong to the whole family! If you don't want to die, you will be honest with your relatives! ”
The six of them were cold and frightened.
One of them raised his hand stiffly, and said in a trembling tone: "Shangshu, the lower official went to check it as soon as possible, and Ji Xiang slit his throat and died." ”
Huang Yan took a step forward and said sharply: "What I asked is, how did Ji Xiang die!" ”
This is Zuo Shilang, he quietly glanced left and right, his expression moved and moved, and he said stubbornly: "Indeed, it may be that he was harmed." ”
That's all he can say.
Huang Shan's face was hideous and he wanted to kill, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Today, if you don't find out the reason and explain it to Your Majesty, tomorrow morning, the Imperial City Division will come to seal the Criminal Department, if this official doesn't end well, you also prepare the coffin in advance!" ”
The six people trembled violently, looked up at Huang Yan tremblingly, and lowered their heads violently with a cold neck.
They know what is important, but they dare not say more.
The three envoys were killed in the prison of the Criminal Department, everyone knows that the water inside is very deep, how dare they be involved!
Ma Yan stood aside, his face sinking like water, his eyes blazing.
They were originally on Zhao Xu's orders to investigate the fraud case of the three divisions and yamen, but now there is not much progress in the case, but the three envoys are dead!
They can already foresee that there are now officials writing a recital to impeach them!
This must be a noisy case, and it is not so easy to conclude!
He looked at the six people in the Criminal Department and refused to speak, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Separate them, try them one by one, and use torture!" ”
The expressions of the six people changed drastically, and they opened their mouths to speak, but they couldn't say a word.
Huang Yan doesn't want to do this, but let alone the future, it's good to take care of his family's life in front of him!
"Come on, bring them in! Give me a trial, if you can't get it tried, you will be punished, you will be punished, you will be punished, whether you live or die! Huang Yan gritted his teeth and said angrily.
A team of officials of the criminal department rushed in, and they were about to run towards the six.
The six of them looked pale and frightened, but they still didn't dare to speak here, and they were dragged and kept giving Huang Yan a look.
Ma Yan looked at it, knowing how much he could judge a little, but his expression was still changing, his eyes were cold, he didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Do you think this matter has anything to do with Qian Sheng?" ”
Qian Sheng, Dali Siqing.
Huang Yan naturally thought of him early, guessing the depth of the water in his heart, his eyebrows were painful, and he said: "If you can find out Qian Sheng, you can also explain something, I'm afraid that I can't find out, or pull out the big Buddha behind me!" ”
This is also Ma Yan's scruples, behind Qian Sheng is Lu Dafang, everyone knows. But if you want to find out that it is the current Zaifu who murdered the third envoy, it will be an unprecedented big case, earth-shattering!
